Friendly Internationals
Friendly International matches are either internationals played between national teams of the Member Associations of IFF or club matches played between club teams representing the highest league from at least two different nations.
Matches between National Teams
IFF Member Associations must always inform the IFF when organising internationals between national teams. The organiser shall use the IFF Form to advise of planned matches, and the form must be sent to the IFF no later than 3 months (90 days) prior to the matches.
Forms received within 90 days of the event are subject to fees of up to 1000 CHF.
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to ongoing travel restrictions in many countries, the IFF will allow for a later submission of the Information of International Matches for all 2022 International Weekends. The Information of International Matches will be accepted up to 30 days prior (with no charge).
